Ezekiel 23
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị m,
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ dị ndị inyom abụọ nke otu nne mụrụ.
3 And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Ha ghọrọ ndị akwụna nʼala Ijipt site na mgbe ha bụ agbọghọ. Nʼala ahụ, a bịagidere ara ha aka, pịakwa ọnụ ara agbọghọ ha aka nʼọnọdụ igwuri egwu.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Aha nke okenye bụ Ohola. Aha nwanne ya nwanyị bụ Oholiba. Ha bụrịị nkem, ha mụtakwara m ụmụ ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị. Ohola bụ Sameria, Oholiba bụkwa Jerusalem.
5 And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
“Ohola na-agba akwụna mgbe ọ ka bụ nkem. O nwere agụụ ịkwa iko nʼebe ndị niile ọ hụrụ nʼanya nọ, bụ ndị dike nʼagha nke ndị Asịrịa,
6 Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
ndị yi uwe anụnụ, ndịisi ọchịchị na ndị ọchịagha, ha niile bụ ụmụ okorobịa mara mma nʼile anya, na ndịisi agha, ndị ikom na-amakwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya.
7 And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
O weere onwe ya nyefee nʼaka ndị ikom Asịrịa ogugo ha kachasị elu dịka onye akwụna, merụọkwa onwe ya site nʼife arụsị dị iche iche nke onye ọbụla agụụ ya gụrụ obi ya.
8 And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
Ma ọ hapụghị mmụọ akwụna ahụ dị nʼime ya, bụ nke o bidoro nʼIjipt, nke bụ na mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ ya na ndị ikom dinakọrọ, ha na-apịkwa ọnụ ara agbọghọ ya aka, na-awụkwasịkwa agụụ nke ọchịchọ ọjọọ ha nʼahụ ya.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
“Nʼihi nke a enyefere m ya nʼaka ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya, bụ ndị Asịrịa, ndị agụụ ha na-agụ ya.
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
Ha gbara ya ọtọ, ha kpọọrọ ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ndị inyom, ma ya onwe ya ka ha were mma agha gbuo. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ ghọrọ ihe akụkọ ilu nʼetiti ndị inyom niile, a takwara ya ahụhụ.
11 And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
“Oholiba bụ nwanne ya nwanyị hụrụ ihe ndị a, ma nʼime agụụ ihe ọjọọ nke gụrụ ya nakwa ịgba akwụna, ọ kpara agwa jọrọ njọ karịa nke nwanne ya nwanyị.
12 She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
Ya onwe ya kwa, agụụ ụmụ Asịrịa gụrụ ya, bụ ndịisi ọchịchị, na ndị ọchịagha, ndị dike nʼagha yi uwe agha dịka o kwesiri, ndị ikom na-amakwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya, ha niile bụ ụmụ okorobịa dị mma nʼile anya.
13 And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
Ahụrụ m na ya onwe ya merụkwara onwe ya; ha abụọ si otu ụzọ aga.
14 And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
“O gara nʼihu tụkwasị ihe nʼịgba akwụna ya karịa. Ọ hụrụ onyinyo ndị ikom atụnyere nʼahụ aja, bụ onyinyo nke ndị Kaldịa e ji ihe chara uhie uhie sepụta,
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
ha kere ihe okike nʼukwu ha nakwa akwa okike nʼisi ha; nʼile anya ha niile dịka ndịisi ụgbọ agha ndị Babilọn, Kaldịa bụ ala amụrụ ha.
16 And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
Ngwangwa ọ na-ele ha anya, agụ ha gụrụ ya, o zipụrụ ha ndị ozi na Kaldịa.
17 And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Mgbe ahụ ndị Babilọn bịakwutere ya, nʼelu ihe ndina ịhụnanya, nʼime agụụ nke anụ ahụ ha, ha merụrụ ya. Mgbe ha mesịrị ka ọ bụrụ ihe rụrụ arụ site nʼịkwa iko, o si nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe ya nʼọnọdụ ịsọ ha oyi.
18 And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
Mgbe ọ gara nʼihu na-akwa iko nʼezoghị ezo na-ekpughekwa ọtọ ya, elepụrụ m ya anya nʼihi ịsọ oyi, dịka m mere lepụkwara anya site nʼebe nwanne ya nwanyị nọ.
19 And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
Ma ọ gara nʼihu na-akwa iko karịa, dịka ọ na-echeta ndụ akwụna o biri nʼIjipt mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ.
20 And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
Nʼebe ahụ, agụụ ndị ikom ya na ha na-akwa iko gụrụ ya, bụ ndị anụahụ ha dịka nke ịnyịnya ibu, ndị ihe ha na-anyụpụta dịkwa ka nke ịnyịnya.
21 You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
Ya bụ, na-agụụ ndụ ọjọọ nke i biri mgbe ị bụ agbọghọ na-agụsị gị ike, mgbe ị nọ nʼIjipt ebe a na-abịagide gị aka nʼara, ebe apịkwara ọnụ ara nta gị aka.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
“Nʼihi nke a, gị Oholiba, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Aga m akpali ndị ahụ hụrụ gị nʼanya megide gị, bụ ndị ahụ ihe ha na-amasịkwaghị gị ọzọ. Aga m esi nʼakụkụ niile kpọta ha, megide gị.
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
Ndị Babilọn, ndị Kaldịa niile, ndị ikom Pekod, ndị Shoa, na ndị Koa, na ndị Asịrịa niile ha na ha soo. Ụmụ okorobịa niile dị mma ile anya, ha niile bụ ndị na-achị achị na ndị ọchịagha, ndịisi na-agba ịnyịnya, na ndị ikom ọkwa ha dị elu, ha niile ga-anọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya.
24 And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
Ha ga-eji ngwa agha dị iche iche, ụgbọala nke agha na ọtụtụ igwe ndị mmadụ dị iche iche; ha ji ọta ukwu na ọta nta, kpurukwa okpu agha igwe, were ọnọdụ gburugburu gị nʼakụkụ ọbụla, imegide gị. Aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ha, ka ha taa gị ahụhụ, ha ga-atakwa gị ahụhụ dịka usoro ikpe ha si dị.
25 And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
Aga m edo ekworo nke iwe m megide gị, ha ga-eji iwe na ọnụma mesie gị ike. Ha ga-ebipụ imi unu na ntị unu, ndị fọdụkwara nʼime unu ga-anwụ site na mma agha. Ha ga-achịkọrọ ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ndị inyom pụọ, unu ndị nke fọdụrụ ka ọkụ ga-erepịa.
26 And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
Ha ga-eyipụ gị uwe ọma gị niile, chikọrọ ihe ịchọ mma gị niile.
27 And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a ga-eme ka agụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ nke anụahụ na ịkwa iko, bụ nke i bidoro nʼala Ijipt kwụsị. Ị gaghị enwekwa agụụ ile ihe ndị a niile anya maọbụ chetakwa Ijipt nʼuche gị.
28 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
“Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Lee, ana m aga iwere gị nyefee nʼaka ndị ahụ kpọrọ gị asị, bụ ndị ahụ ị wezugara onwe gị site nʼebe ha nọ nʼihi ịsọ oyi.
29 And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
Ha ga-esite nʼịkpọ asị mesie gị ike, pụnara gị ihe niile i nwere nke ị dọgburu onwe gị nʼọrụ nʼihi ha. Ha ga-ahapụ gị ka ịgbara ọtọ ihu na azụ, mgbe ahụ ihere nke ịgba akwụna gị ga-apụta ihe. Agụụ nke ọchịchọ ọjọọ na ịkwa iko gị
30 To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
emeela ka ihe ndị a bịakwasị gị, nʼihi na agụụ mmekọrịta nʼebe mba ndị ọzọ gụrụ gị, ị jikwa arụsị ha merụọ onwe gị.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
Ị gbasoro nzọ ụkwụ nwanne gị nwanyị, nʼihi ya, aga m ewere iko ya tinye gị nʼaka.
32 Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “Iko nwanne gị nwanyị ka ị ga-aṅụ bụ iko sara mbara ma dịkwa omimi; nke ga-eme ka ị ghọọ onye a na-achị ọchị na onye a na-akwa emo, nʼihi na ọ na-anagide ihe dị ukwuu.
33 You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
Ị ga-ejupụta nʼịṅụbiga mmanya oke na iru ụjụ, nʼihi iko mbibi na ntikpọsi, bụ iko nke nwanne gị nwanyị bụ Sameria.
34 And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
Ị ga-aṅụ ya, ṅụchaa ihe dị nʼiko ahụ. Ị ga-atapịakwa iberibe ya niile, dọkasịakwa ara gị abụọ. Ekwuola m. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
35 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ebe ọ bụ na i chefuola m, gbakụta m azụ gị, ị ga-ata ahụhụ niile ruuru gị nʼihi mmehie, agụụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ na ịgba akwụna gị.”
36 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị ga-ekpe Ohola na Oholiba ikpe? Mgbe ahụ, guzogide ha mee ka ha mara ihe arụ niile ha na-eme.
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
Nʼihi na ha akwaala iko, ọbara jupụtakwara nʼaka ha, ha na arụsị ha kwakwara iko. Ha jikwa ọ bụladị ụmụ nke ha mụtaara m chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye ha.
38 Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
Ihe ọzọ ha mere m bụ nke a: Ha merụrụ ebe nsọ m nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ha mere ka ụbọchị izuike m gharakwa ịdị nsọ.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Nʼihi na nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ha ji ụmụ ha chụọ aja nye arụsị ha, bụkwa ụbọchị ha batara nʼụlọnsọ m merụọ ya. Ihe dị otu a ka ha mere nʼụlọnsọ m.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
“Ọ bụghị naanị nke a, ha zigara ndị ozi ịkpọ ndị ikom na-esi ebe dị anya bịa, mgbe ha bịara, nʼihi ha, ị sachara ahụ gị nke ọma, tee ihe nʼanya gị, yirikwa ezigbo ihe ịchọ mma gị.
41 And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.

42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
“Olu igwe mmadụ ndị obi dị ụtọ na-ada gburugburu ya nʼime ụlọ, e sitekwara nʼọzara bubata ndị ṅụbigara mmanya oke, ha na ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ, Ha gbanyekwara nwanyị a na nwanne ya nwanyị mgbaaka na nkwoji aka ha, yinyekwa ha okpueze mara mma nʼisi.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
Mgbe ahụ, ihe m kwuru banyere nwanyị ahụ ịkwa iko riri ahụ bụ nke a, ‘Ugbu a, ka ha mesoo ya mmeso dịka onye na-agba akwụna, nʼihi na nke ahụ ka ọ bụ.’
44 And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
Ha bara dinakwuru ya. Dịka ndị ikom si abakwuru nwanyị akwụna, otu a ka ha si bakwuru ụmụ nwanyị ndụ ọjọọ a bụ Ohola na Oholiba.
45 As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
Ma ndị ikpe ezi omume ga-ama ha ụdị ikpe a na-ama ndị inyom na-akwa iko na ndị na-awụsikwa ọbara. Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-akwa iko, na ndị ọbara dị nʼaka ha.
46 For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, aga m akpọkọta igwe ndị mmadụ ga-emegide ha, nyefee ha nʼaka oke ihe egwu, nakwa ihe nlụta nʼagha.
47 And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
Mkpọkọta mmadụ ahụ ga-atụ ha nkume, werekwa mma agha gbudasịa ha. Ha ga-egbu ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ụmụ ha ndị inyom, kpọkwaa ụlọ ha niile ọkụ.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
“Otu a, aga m eme ka ibi ndụ ọjọọ kwụsị nʼala ahụ, ka esi otu a adọ ndị inyom niile aka na ntị, ka ha hapụ ịgbaso nzọ ụkwụ gị.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
Ị ghaghị ịta ahụhụ nʼihi ndụ ọjọọ nke ịkwa iko gị, hụkwaa ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie niile nke ịkpọ isiala nye arụsị. Mgbe ahụ ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
